Name: Mako Naginata
Age: 19 cycles, though she looks a bit young, doesn't she?
Race: Naginata

Eye Color: Red, although she wears blue contacts to turn them purple. Occasionally she'll forget to put one contact in, or will lose one, giving her mismatched looking eyes.

Hair color: A cross between Gunmetal and Steel blue. (I don't know what to call it! ;A; )

Personality- Main: Good-natured and laid back -but cunning- her main goal is to live an amusing lifestyle, and she'll twist any opportunity to her advantage to make it happen. Or at least try, in any case- meaning she enjoys causing trouble. Being somewhat distant and aloof when approached, she has few to no friends, and finds it hard to keep them close even when she can make one. Her motives towards those she's loyal to can be misunderstood, even though she truly tries to help them any way she can.
She avoids any topics concerning Xenon Naginata, and even though she doesn't seem bothered by his plans, she simply sidesteps talking about it, saying something along the lines of, "Oh, I never particularly thought about it."
..
...she might be swayed to join his cause, given a good reason and some incentive.

Personality- smaller facets: She appears absent-minded, jumping from topic to topic in regular conversations. She takes a morbid interest when someone's death is mentioned, however, and sometimes reveals a serious, calculating side she does her best to hide. It usually startles other people, so she has good reason to.

Background: A gifted storyteller- also meaning an imaginative and fairly good liar- Mako caught the attention of a strangely...long... man with pointed ears in a local cafe. When she left, he stalked her, eventually pinning her in a back alley and biting her before disappearing. Symptoms of infection started after the bite closed, and she stumbled home when she could walk again, disappearing to the world for weeks on end while the parasite blood did its work. She's still reclusive, but can be found at cafes sometimes, sipping hot chocolate and eating cookies. She'll gladly offer you one if you come close, giving whoever accepts an innocent smile before leaving, generously paying the bill and disappearing into the night.

Other facts: As a teen, she jokingly got tattoos on her legs, back and forehead imitating the Naginatas. (with some original twists, of course) After infection, the other marks appeared, giving her the two-ringed look on her legs. In released form, the tattoos stretch and widen out, making the rings wider, and the tattoos on her back look like stripes. She enjoys wearing vintage clothing and, 'standing out,' hence the colored contacts to change her eye color.

XDDD Oh my gosh- TEXT BLOCKS EVERYWHERE! I'm sorry Shika! Sorry sorry sorry! I didn't know how detailed to make the color ref either, so I did every-single-one.

EDIT: The contest details would be here----[link] --- Thanks for reminding me, OTL.
